Angel & Marc .
I’m very appreciated for sharing the
Amazing article how to see deeply
Down the 19 questions for 2019 resolutions: #1, I’m a person who is always striving for guidance, encouragements.
And #3, intergrity is important to me.
I Believed in myself and over come Anxiety..
I want to change the way I try to put everyone before myself, I want to put myself first and not be so independent and I want to depend on someone to help me!
Interesting comment. I’ve been told that I am too independent. I thanked them, I thought it was a compliment but that’s not how they meant it. Maybe I need to review that in my life. But it took so long to get independent….
Marc and Angel, your emails always arrive in my inbox at the perfect time! 🙂 Thank you for being a a constant source of guidance in my life. And happy new year ahead!
In this post I appreciate the way you’ve framed these questions as tools for eliminating the noice and focusing your mind. And I really like that “think like there is no box” analogy too.
And like Jim mentioned, the first questions stopped and made me think. In one sentence, who am I?
I am free will and pure awareness, the producer and the witness of the mind that drives this body forward. I am an eccentric square peg in an ocean of round holes who has finally accepted herself and the occasional isolation that inevitably comes with peacefully being myself.
Thanks again for these thoughtful, beautiful questions. And I will be seeing you two in San Diego at your Think Better conference! I’m excited! Just got two tickets for my husband and I. Lot’s of positive changes coming in 2019.
I love Natasha’s fourth paragraph. It is so poetically beautiful and true to heart.
I’m choosing (with so many choices) to not allow my family drama/trauma to rob me of all other areas of my life. Not letting go has hindered me in so many ways, but most importantly in moving froward.
My answer to number three–is to love myself–to accept and be content with where I am–improve my attitude about everything–knowing that if I do that things will all work out as they are suppose to. I must be content with myself before I will be completely happy, I will print all these questions out and give each long thought. There is so much going on in my head after reading all of these. Thanks for these good articles that you print –and what is especially good–is that it is written in plain everyday language. Thanks again!! Mary
My 48 year marriage ended ten months ago and I have suffered severe depression. He is with a new woman leading a wonderful life of travel, dining out and hiking. I guess I feel jealous along with the sadness. I always go your posts and book to try to “get it together “. You’ve helped tremendously. I’m hoping for peace and contentment. I think happiness is a long way away.
Thanks for your encouraging words.
I can’t imagine your pain, please allow yourself to grieve as if he died. That’s a long time to be married. I hope you have love and support from family and friends. Be kind to yourself and try to think of something to be positive about everyday!
#1 (this is meant to be funny & not offend) just remember if he gets Alzheimer’s he won’t remember her but he will remember you!
Don’t worry. You will be fine and everything will fall into place.. Its only a matter of time.. Cheers to great times ahead. Much love and peace. Sunnel
I would like to wake up every morning and be able to program my thinking…. thankfulness for everything, even difficult situations I cannot change and being able to accept what I cannot change. Wishing u both and your family a healthy and peaceful year. Thanking you always for making a difference to so many of us. ???
This may be my favorite of all your email/posts. Thank you so much for sharing and challenging us to think deeply on how we want to live as we begin 2019!
I think every year it’s scary overwhelming on our my year is in 2018 a lot angry sadness & denial & forgiveness & then 2019 nearly here. I always write a list about 10 things I’m going to do or change I only do 3 or 4 then I feel lost but not lost in the woods but lost that things that has happen in my life growing up or anxiety or depression sink in then I have to crawl back out. It’s not a box it’s my inner mind tuck away behind my brain. I will give this a go for 2019 thanks for mindfulness quotes & beautiful messages. Tania C from Auckland New Zealand
The #1 change I need to make in the coming year is to practice mindfulness and meditation daily.
I’m re-evaluating my marriage. I’ve changed jobs, lost income, am taking on some debt in order to further my education….all of these are stressful. I’ve been both self-forgetting and reactive lately. I need my mind to be present in my body and aware of my own thoughts and emotions. Thanks for the questions to help prompt reflection on true priorities.
I tend to be quite content now as I enter my 7th decade. Taking care of my health as I see friends having health issues &/or dieing. That’s my answer to #3, learning new ways to eat to maintain or improve my health.
Sometimes your emails seem to instill a reassurance that I’m on the right path & others will point to a new path. Thank you!
I read the list and you know I could hardly answer half of them! I’m going to have to really think about those questions!! Sometimes honestly I feel it’s too late for me! I’ll be 61 young but it’s harder now to me! I lost my whole life being depressed but I am working on it. Having to think about those questions hopefully will help!!
Debbie I feel the same way! I’ve been depressed myself on and off, for over 45 years. I am 62 and I feel I’ve wasted most of my life. I too am having a hard time answering the questions. But they are really GREAT questions. For the new year I will try to forgive the people in my life (hard to do) and also try not to be so hard on myself. Thank you M & A!
What scares you and what do you try to avoid and doesn’t scare you as much now? I’m an introvert and always panic a little in upcoming social situations. Finally at 60 I am starting to appreciate all the individual interactions I have with people and work hard to be in that moment. Maybe that sounds strange but it is work but gratifying at the same time. It’s a conscious effort that has its rewards. I’m grateful to you for your great encouragement.
My #3
I going to quit doubting myself and get my confidence back to where it needs to be. Take control of what’s important to me and enjoy my life.
There is so much good in life and so much life to enjoy , to not be happy is a mistake I don’t want.
Thanks & Happy New Years 2019
I’ve just discovered “you” this evening and the discovery is so timely! You truly have no idea. I lost my spouse in June 2018 and have been on a Grief Journey for the past six months. I’m seeking inner peace and happiness in 2019 – I’m tired of being sad and on the verge of tears.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Darlene. Grief is exhausting. My special son passed last year and his brother (with same rare condition)is in hospice care since last month. Life changes completely and we do have to find ways to ground and redirect ourselves. Best of luck to you.
Rebecca – thank you so much! I’m truly sorry for your loss, as well. I’m sending lots of hugs and prayers to hopefully help you find strength to see you through life’s challenges. Gentle hugs!
I am 70 yrs. old and I have smoked for 48 yrs… It finally came to me this morning why I am having so much trouble quitting…I have been thru so much pain and discomfort in my life I just cannot bear another time when I will suffer.. I know when it’s all over I would be much better off. Esp. financially!! So now knowing that I will do it… I will quit!! I want to thank you for all the great advice and idea’s you share with us!!!
This is such an amazing list of questions. I cried a bit as I went through them and it made me feel a sense of freedom. I am going to share this with all those I love. Thank you so much!This is my favorite of your emails as well. How timely as we are all thinking about how to improve our lives in the next year. As I was cleaning up my emails today and unsubscribing to many, I thought Boy this newsletter is a keeper. You have helped me get on with my life in a positive way so many times.Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom,guidance, healing light and love with us. May God bless you and all those you love always.
Hi M & A,
Happy new year to you both and your audience. Thanks for your support and guidance. My answer to #3 is to make more time for myself and to make myself happy while serving others. Thanks again for your inspiration and love.
The biggest change I need to make for 2019 is gettinng out of this relationship finally once and for all: I am finally starting to not love him anymore and that helps. I deserve so much better
These are great questions, I read everyone of them and cried as I answered them. I guess the #1 thing I need desperately to change is to stop being scared to try new things, to be brave, confident. I just want to forget past hurts from my family.
Thank you to M&A for doing what you do. I look forward to your readings each and every day.
My #1 thing in 2019 is to find out why i am so angry and irritable. Why i am always blowing up things out of proportion and to be able to just take it at face value without getting upset. It is blocking me in so many ways. I need to figure out what needs are unmet. So to learn to let go, be happy and enjoy all the small moments.
19 Questions that Will Open Your Mind in 2019 has given me a profound need to establish a baseline, or starting point, making time a priority.
Wasting time leads to loneliness, which could be crucial to our personal, professional and global presence.
Whoa! These are powerful questions at the top and I like your choices of photo images to accompany them. I will work on answering each one in the new journal I started last week.
Your thoughts and words have helped me deal with toxic family situations in 2018. Today I decided to offer your book (I bought four copies) to a friend from long ago, whose marriage may be ending, but may not be. It is time for discernment, and I know your book can help with that process. Thank you, Marc and Angel, for the ways you inspire all of us to honor our authentic selves and work towards living with more joy.
